Intense cold damages betel crop in Madhya Pradesh

Belowa (Madhya Pradesh), Jan 24 (ANI): The intense cold weather in Belowa region here has led to severe damage in the betel crop, popularly known as ‘paan’.

The farmers are bemoaning heavy losses as almost all their betel produce has been hit badly by the frost and cold, leading to black spots on the leaves.

Around 700-800 families engaged in betel cultivation will be left to starve if they don’t get any assistance from the government.
